If you are visiting Malaysia, one of the top places to go in Malaysia should include the Langkawi Island in northern Peninsular Malaysia. What can you see in Langkawi? Other than beaches or Perdana Gelleria, the next hot spot to go must be this crocodile farm. In fact there are not much things you can see in Langkawi but this farm surely worth a visit. Langkawi Crocodile Farm or Taman Buaya Langkawi in Malay is a 20-Acre-Land featuring over 1000’s of crocodiles in various species and also alligators, in a few separated man-made ponds.
I went there last year on my company trip to Langkawi. It has been 10 years since my last time there and there are still reasons to revisit this island.
After paying RM8 entrance fees, visitors could explore the garden the way you like freely. The main pond is the biggest with pedestrian bridge built over it.
Visitors could walk slowly on this bridge overlooking many crocodiles doing all sorts of activities resembling their real lives.
The environment within this 2o acre compound is very nice, comfortable, clean with lush greenery.
Wow, look at that! What’s the species of these crawling crocodile?
Further strolling down the walking path, we came to the show pond. No seating provided, visitors have to stand around the stage to watch the ‘man vs crocodile’ live performances.
There are 2 ‘old’ and tamed but big crocodiles in 2 small ponds. First of them came out of water to start the show…
Why is he opening his big jaw with sharp teeth? Any prey around? The audience?
Oops! He actually just woke up and waiting his teeth to be brushed! 
Simple action. The crocodile went back into the pond to sleep again after that. Lazy creature…
Now. The highlight of the day came. The second giant crocodile is coming!
Anaconda?
Water being sprayed onto her rapidly as she was crawling up. A hot tempered one I guess…
Dang dang…. dang dang… dang dang…..dang dang….
“Hi! How are you? Stay your head up will you?”
“Don’t move babe! I’m on your back…”
“Freeze!”
“Oh no! She is opening her mouth! Run! Guy Run!”
“Don’t worry! Superman is here… ”
“Err… let me test whether her teeth or my arm is stronger… ”
It’s more than 4m in length! Ladies and gentlemen, the show is over.
We continued to walk through the bridge over pond.
Wondering what are they doing? Sleeping? Chatting? Playing? Dying?
It suddenly rained. Look at them! They are alive! They definitely love rains!
We came to another pond. Oh no! These crocodiles are not friendly at all! They are looking for preys! They are mouth watering…
Oh I see. This is the feeding pond where crocodiles who are starving will crawle to here to look for real food, fresh meat. Only difference is there are served by trainers.
“Bye bye! Food’s finished! Not full enough? Try to be stronger next time!”
Other than that, visitors could also find a restaurant and a souvenirs shop inside the Langkawi Crocodile Farm. For RM8 per entry, you can spend your time there from 9am to 6pm. We stayed there for one and 1 half hour and that should be enough unless you are having lunch there or wandering in the souvenir shop. “Is it worth to go?” Should pay a visit if you haven’t been there before. “Is this post worth to read?” Must subscribe to my Feed via RSS or email if you haven’t done so! – Travel Feeder, the ultimate travel photo blog

It’s time now to conclude the whole stories of my packaged travel to Shanghai and other 4 cities in South Yangtze region of China. We spent 8 days in the tour to cover many tourist attractions in Shanghai, Hangzhou, SuZhou, Nanjing, Wuxi and also the water village, Wuzhen. For the first 4 days, we explored the financial capital of China, Shanghai, and also the 2 cities of heaven on the earth which were Hangzhou and Suzhou. I’ve posted a half way summary for these first 4 days of tour earlier. Click this link below if you haven’t got a clue where we are coming from:
South Yangtze China Packaged Travel Halfway Update – Where Have I Been On The First 4 Days?
On the fifth day, we traveled to another significant city in South Yangtze region of China, Nanjing and followed by Wuxi, before traveling back to Shanghai. Here are the stories for the final 4 days of travel in China:
- In Nanjing, we visited the SongMeiLing villa;
- Later in the evening, we came to Nanjing Bridge and visited the crystal inner art gallery;
- At night, we went shopping at the largest pedestrian precinct in Nanjing, the FuZhiMiao;
- On the next morning, we explored the Nanjing Wall at QinHuai Scenic Area;
- Being the biggest hoax of our tour, we bought a jade pendent from a jade factory;
- After having lunch in Nanjing, we progressed to another scenic city of Wuxi;
- On our way there, I realised we would not have such fun if we didn’t pack these 5 items into our luggage before traveling to China;
- In Wuxi, the first attraction to visit would definitely the Lingshan giant buddha;
- I recorded a video also on the scene of “Buddha being bathed by nine dragons”;
- That’s nothing much on Wuxi nightlife where we only went to a shopping mall;
- Early in the next morning, we took a fresh air at Lihu Lake scenic area;
- What else could we do in Wuxi? Check out the film shooting base of “Three Kingdom City”;
- What could we drink in Wuxi? I had a Taihu Lake Water beer!
- Taihu Lake is also famous for its freshwater cultured pearls;
- Enough looking at pearls ladies? Let’s move to go back to Shanghai!
- We were close. We shopped and drank for the last evening at Nanjing Street, the biggest shopping street in China!
- Still exploring Shanghai on the final day? Yes. We dropped by the TongRenTang chinese pharmaceutical centre before taking the Shanghai Meglev Train to the airport.
Long stories isn’t it? Sorry if it took you so long to follow me on my travel experience in China last last Autumn. However, you may find it interesting and informative to guide you through the packaged tour or at least you would have a preliminary idea on what you should expect from this type of all-inclusive packaged tour to South Yangtze China.
Good news for me! I’ve finally concluded my weblog on China tour, for this round. Next. So I could concentrate my next travel stories on Phuket…

The title may sound ridiculous. Yes. In terms of overall image quality, my Nikon D60 still has the edge. However, in certain aspect and under certain circumstances, my 15 month old Panasonic Lumix FZ28 is no doubt better than my DSLR, or even most of the DSLR in the market. “Are you sure?”

In the film camera era, unless we know darkroom technique to process photo films and photo papers ourselves, we always rely on photoshops and their printing machine to deliver what we have shot. I still remembered how I insisted the shop to process and print it with zero adjustment (you know those 4 +-numbers shown [...]
